Defra’s advisory Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG) launched its latest report Ozone in the United Kingdom on 4th March 2009. The report investigates the recent historic trends, current status and likely future changes to tropospheric ozone concentrations in the UK over the next 20 years.
See www.defra.gov.uk/environment/airquality/publications/ozone/pdf/aqeg-ozone-report.pdf
The launch brought together a number of air quality experts to participate in a discussion on biogenic emissions.
A summary report will follow soon. Further information about the Air Quality Expert Group and reports can be found at www.defra.gov.uk/environment/airquality/panels/aqeg/index.htm

This is the fifth report of the Air Quality Expert Group (AQEG). The report investigates the recent historic trends, current status and likely future changes to tropospheric ozone concentrations in the UK. The main focus is on human exposure to ozone pollution, particularly in urban areas. AQEG has also considered trends and changes to ozone precursor emissions on the European and global scales, as a background to the main focus of the report.
The report is being published in draft to allow expert comment before the group reaches its final conclusions. Any technical comments on the report should be received by Wednesday, 6 August 2008.

In the report, the Expert Panel on Air Quality Standards (EPAQS) recommends guideline values for arsenic, beryllium, chromium and nickel. These metals are all human or suspected human carcinogens and have been shown to affect human health through the inhalation route. They are also amongst the substances most frequently encountered by the Environment Agency when determining permits for major industrial activities.
The report is being published in draft to allow expert comment before the group reaches its final conclusions. Any technical comments on the report should be received by Wednesday, 6 August 2008.
